Have you ever found yourself feeling stressed out, inconvenienced or annoyed when it came to not just your health, but your health care? Its bad enough when you are concerned about a disease, ailment, or injury, but when your worry extends to poor treatment by a doctor, rude communication with a receptionist, or confusion over insurance details, your experience can seem overwhelming. 20-year healthcare professional, patient and patient advocate, Laura L. Casey knows well the experience of patients and has experienced her share of poorly managed interactions as well as successful meaningful care relationships with the medical community. She reveals how to ensure the best quality healthcare without going broke or insane in her new book, How To Get The Healthcare You Want. Laura will tell you how to: * Check the credentials of your doctor and health care facility, and how to look for red flags when it comes to accreditation, licensure, experience, and degrees. * Compare the costs and benefits of different insurance plans to ensure you choose the one that meets your medical needs and best suites your budget. * Know if a Health Savings or Flexible Spending Account works for you. * Identify errors on medical bills and spot fraud. * Create your own medical record and identify what information is crucial. * Remove the anxiety, confusion, or fear associated with negative health care experiences and identify your goals, expectations, and personal preferences.
